Walking into a motorcycles-and-scooters search can feel like two conversations at once. One part of you might be picturing a weekend cruiser; another part might just want a birthday gift or a drivetrain upgrade. The four items here span exactly that range: a collector-grade 1968 machine, a custom-built 2005 bobber, a 2007 Hess monster truck toy, and a Vortex Racing chain for street motorcycles. To make the call, start with your intended use.
Quick take
If you want a titled, original classic from the 1960s, the 1968 Motorcycles is the singular choice. If you want a rideable custom bobber with a 1340cc engine and a clean title, the 2005 Custom Built Motorcycles Bulldozer is the one. If you're buying a collectible toy or a gift, the Hess Monster Truck at USD 25.00 is an easy pick. If you're upgrading a street motorcycle's drivetrain, the Vortex Racing V3 2.0 Chain is a purpose-built component at USD 200.53.

Product notes
1968 Motorcycles
This is about as close to time travel as motorcycles-and-scooters shopping gets. It's a used, 100% original 1968 machine with a clean title, 20,000 miles, and a story: it's still titled in the original owner's name, nicknamed "Elvis." The VIN is unaltered, compression is strong, and the kicker works. The practical side is that it's a historic project, not a turn-key daily rider; the current owner says it cranked on the first try but then stopped, possibly needing a new OEM Harley solenoid and starter. At USD 12,999, you're paying for originality and provenance rather than a fresh restoration. If you're a collector who values untouched history, this is the standout.
2005 Custom Built Motorcycles Bulldozer
Here's a custom bobber-style build with a used-condition clean title, 2,000 miles, and a 1340cc engine matched to a six-speed transmission and a 3-inch BDL open primary. It also has Jaybrake controls, a rear sprotor, and fresh updates that include a new S&S Super E carburetor, AntiGravity lithium battery, and Avon Cobra Chrome tires. It was not built by Russell Mitchell but uses Exile Cycle parts. At USD 11,750, the owner describes it as running great and riding smooth, but you're buying a specific custom build that stands on its own. For someone who wants a distinctive bobber, this is the one.
Hess Monster Truck With Motorcycles 2007 New In Original Box Opened Never Used
This is a very different kind of motorcycles-and-scooters purchase: a 2007 Hess Holiday Truck that comes new in its original box, opened but never used. It comes with two friction-powered motorcycles for "hours of lasting fun," and the box has its batteries removed to avoid damage. It's priced at USD 25.00, making it the lowest-priced item in this group by a wide margin. The limitation is that it's a collectible toy, not a working vehicle, and it's marked as made in China. If you need a gift, a desk display, or a piece of Hess holiday history, this is a low-cost way to get there.
Vortex Racing V3 2.0 Chain 520RX3-120 for Street Motorcycles, Gold
The Vortex Racing V3 2.0 Chain is a new, purpose-built component for street motorcycles, priced at USD 200.53. It features advanced x-ring seals to reduce friction, drilled links to cut rotating mass, and a rivet master link for installation. A chain tool is required, and installation by a certified mechanic is recommended, so budget for labor if you can't do it yourself. This isn't a complete bike or an accessory fluff piece; it's a specific drivetrain upgrade. If your motorcycle needs a chain in the 520RX3-120 size and you want a racing-oriented replacement, this gold chain is the straightforward pick.
Final recommendation by use case
- For the collector: The 1968 Motorcycles at USD 12,999 is the 100%-original, clean-title classic in the set.
- For the rider who wants a distinctive custom: The 2005 Custom Built Motorcycles Bulldozer at USD 11,750 is the rideable custom with a clean title and fresh maintenance.
- For the gift-giver: The Hess Monster Truck at USD 25.00 is a new-in-box 2007 collectible with two motorcycles.
- For the mechanic: The Vortex Racing V3 2.0 Chain at USD 200.53 is a new performance chain for street motorcycles.
